* Stata do-file entitled "Polls of Polls.do" produces Figure 3.1 in the book chapter and Table 3A.3 in the appendices and employs the MS Excel document entitled "June 2018 Polls.xlsx".
	- The polling estimates are coded from publicly available sources by the author, Yasemin Tosun (Ph.D. candidate at Sabanci University), and Ersagun Kocabaş (Ph.D. candidate at Sabanci University).
	- The sources are provided for information purposes. 

* Stata do-file entitled "Data Operations.do" produces the data file entitled "Replication Data.dta", which is used for Table 3.2 and Figures 3.2-3.4 in the book chapter, and Tables 3A.1 and 3A.2 in the appendices.
	- It is for information purposes and relies on several district- or precinct-level datasets that are coded from the Supreme Election Council's official records (at the ballotbox level). 
	- Ballotbox-level data are available from the author upon request (mmoral@sabanciuniv.edu).  

* Stata do-file entitled "Descriptive Analyses.do" produces Figures 3.2-3.4 and replicates the related cluster analyses. 
	- For mapping, it requires "For Maps.dta" that records district polygons, coded from a shapefile provided by the Regional IM Working Group-Europe (publicly available at: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/turkey-administrative-boundaries-levels-0-1-2), a property of the General Command of Mapping, Turkey, and retrieved on August 8, 2018. 
	- The ID numbers in the "Replication Data.dta" (used to match 972 districts in the "For Maps.dta") may differ from the newer versions of the shapefiles. 

* Stata scheme file used to produce the plots is available from the author upon request (mmoral@sabanciuniv.edu).
